The rolling 7-day daily rate of infection in this county is ~1000.
It's dropped from 1100 last week.
Not a big enough drop, or a sustained enough drop, for us.
They were trying to tell him "It's safe". I'd like a work-safe way to tell them to take their ignorance, stupidity and wanton disregard for the truth and put it where the sun don't shine.

Damn them for their stupidity.

Damn the politicians and officials for not giving us clear rules to live by.

Damn the welfare, employment and health care "system" for not supporting sick people staying at home.

I am deeply disappointed by the 21st century.
